Rockfax Description
35m. This jaw-dropping central crack-line and its more recent variants have been inspiring local and visiting climbers for generations. Climb the crack then follow the line of holds leading rightwards on the headwall above. The prize of an on-sight ascent is still up for grabs. If the diminishing gear after the crack and a crux right at the top hasn't put you off, consider it only 8a+ with enough airspace to go big and still probably go home.
